About the Author

Mike Burns volunteered for Vietnam and served as a squad leader with the U.S. Army Military Police in the Central Highlands Province of Binh Dinh, from December 1966 to December of 1967. His duties consisted of village and town patrols, convoy escorts, road recon, and the collection and confinement of wounded enemy soldiers. After completion of service in Vietnam, he was assigned to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he was awarded the Soldiers Medal for Heroism for an incident that occurred on September 17, 1967 near the village of Binh Dinh, Vietnam. During the years of 2011 through 2014, Mike self-published two books for local interest, in which he paid tribute to twenty-seven of his county residents who had served in Vietnam. During a Veteran’s Day ceremony in 2015, Mike was awarded the “Distinguished Citizen Medal” by the Bosque River Valley Chapter (Texas) of the Daughters of the American Revolution, for his continued efforts to pay tribute to Vietnam Veterans. He is proud of his service in Vietnam, and proud of his service in the United States Military.
